See also:ANCILLON, See also:CHARLES (1659-1715) , one of a distinguished See also:family of See also:French Protestants, was See also:born on the 28th of See also:July 16J9, at See also:Metz. His See also:father, See also:David Ancillon (1617-1692), was obliged to leave See also:France on the revocation of the See also:edict of See also:Nantes, and became pastor of the French See also:Protestant community in See also:Berlin. Charles Ancillon studied See also:law at See also:Marburg, See also:Geneva, and See also:Paris, where he was called to the See also:bar. At the See also:request of the See also:Huguenots at Metz, he pleaded its cause at the See also:court of See also:- LOUIS

- LOUIS (893–911)
- LOUIS, JOSEPH DOMINIQUE, BARON (1755-1837)
- LOUIS, or LEWIS (from the Frankish Chlodowich, Chlodwig, Latinized as Chlodowius, Lodhuwicus, Lodhuvicus, whence-in the Strassburg oath of 842-0. Fr. Lodhuwigs, then Chlovis, Loys and later Louis, whence Span. Luiz and—through the Angevin kings—Hungarian
Louis XIV., urging that it should be excepted in the revocation of the edict of Nantes, but his efforts were unsuccessful, and he joined his father in Berlin. He was at once appointed by the elector See also:Frederick " See also:juge et directeur de colonic de Berlin." He had before this published several See also:works on the revocation of the edict of Nantes and its consequences, but his See also:literary capacity was mediocre, his See also:style stiff and See also:cold, and it was his See also:personal See also:character rather than his reputation as a writer that earned him the confidence of the elector. In 1687 he was appointed See also:head of the so-called Academie See also:des nobles, the See also:principal educational See also:establishment of the See also:state; later on, as councillor of See also:embassy, he took See also:part in the negotiations which led to the See also:assumption of the See also:title of See also:- KING
- KING (O. Eng. cyning, abbreviated into cyng, cing; cf. O. H. G. chun- kuning, chun- kunig, M.H.G. kiinic, kiinec, kiinc, Mod. Ger. Konig, O. Norse konungr, kongr, Swed. konung, kung)

king by the elector. In 1699 he succeeded See also:Pufendorf as historiographer to the elector, and the same See also:year replaced his See also:uncle See also:Joseph Ancillon as See also:judge of all the French refugees in See also:Brandenburg. He died on the 5th of July 1715. Ancillon's See also:chief claim to remembrance is the See also:work that he did for See also:education in See also:Prussia, and the See also:share he took, in co-operation with See also:Leibnitz, in See also:founding the See also:Academy of Berlin. Of his fairly numerous works the only one still of value is the Histoire de l'etablissement des See also:Francais refugees dons See also:les Rats de Brandebourg (Berlin, 1690).
